A first look at You season 4 has been released as serial killer Joe Goldberg prepares to go on a new murder spree in London.
The massively popular Netflix series, starring Penn Badgley as the sinister stalker, has gained millions of fans over the last three rollercoaster series.
And there’s not long to go until the release of season four, which will be released in two parts on the streaming sites, the first dropping in February 2023.
The next series will see Joe adopt a new identity as he flees to London following the brutal events of season three.
Smooth and terrifying murderer Joe will blend into his new surroundings by taking over the identity of Professor Jonathan Moore.
Now streaming giant Netflix has released a series of images from the new episodes, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect as they count down the mere weeks left to go.

One image released by Netflix sees Joe in his new role as Professor Moore, speaking with students in what appears to be a university.
The scene looks calm – the total opposite to the horror seen in the finale of season three.
Another photo sees Joe with newcomer Charlotte Ritchie, known for her roles in Ghosts and Feel Good, and terrifyingly it looks like the pair have struck up a romance.

Charlotte isn’t the only new introduction to the series, with Joe’s new life in London bringing plenty of new faces – and potential victims – with it.
As well as Charlotte’s character Kate, season four will introduce Ed Speelers as Rhys, Lukas Gage as Adam and Amy-Leigh Hickman as Nadia.
Viewers were given a first look at Ed’s character standing on what appears to be a rooftop having an intense conversation with Joe, while the famous Tower Bridge standing in the background.

‘The show became huge in lockdown but I didn’t watch it. I watched the beginning of the first episode but I found him too creepy,’ she said,
‘[Penn] is a nice guy,’ she clarified.
